- Get money through the platforms' users and their payment methods, without having to worry about asking for users' credit card information, billing, chargebacks, or individual invoicing: 25% platform tax.

- Get money through your own means, similarly to what Amazon did with Kindle books: no platform tax.

Fair enough. So I guess if I don't mind worrying about all those things, I can simply reach my own agreement with a PCI-compliant payment service provider to charge customers through my app directly and therefore avoid that 25% platform tax, right?

You should definitely worry about cashbacks.

You refund 100% but Apple and Google keep their share.
